Why is Chocolat dessert classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It receives a NOVA 4 label because its ingredients are predominantly refined sugar, cocoa paste, cocoa butter and industrial emulsifiers; the only listed additives are lecithins (E322) and polyricinoléate of polyglycerol (E476), both used to improve texture and stability.

How does the high sugar content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 55 g of sugars per 100 g, the candy can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for people managing diabetes, while its very low salt (0.02 g) is not a concern for hypertension but the overall calorie and sugar load remain a health risk.

Is the possible presence of milk a concern for individuals with a milk allergy?

Yes; the label notes possible traces of milk, so people with a milk allergy should avoid the product, as cross‑contamination can occur during manufacturing.
